We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

When you look at the stupid fees paid on the back of World Cup performances for bizarre players that nobody has ever heard of if say Australia do go on and win based on transfer history someone would probably pay a massively inflated fee for Luongo if he was playing for some obscure foreign team. They would obviously think with us in league 1 the fee should be less but it really does beg the question that if you base his value on past Premier League transfer dealings just what is he worth? It's really difficult to guage as obviously its pretty rare for a league 1 player to make an impact on an international tournament....

If Australia win the tournament, teams will struggle to get Luongo to sign before the window shuts as the final is on 30th Jan

Yes I am aware its open for 30 days but why did it not open on Jan 1st this year? Its never been on the 3rd Jan before, ever since the January transfer window started in 2002/3. |

Something to do with the FA offices being closed on the 1st and 2nd I think, so no registrations were possible.

Luongo has been much better at tackling this season. He's much stronger and is riding a lot of challenges that he would have lost possession from last year.

The Sydney Morning Herald is a subscription newspaper...but I think you can view a limited number of articles. Australian Journalism talks Swindon Town ! http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/swindon-town--unlikely-supplier-of-asian-cup-stars-20150114-12nvws.htmlResponse to further questions. Yep, I was at the game last night. A good performance by our boys, so alas, I don't think Loungo will be home soon. Also, I know there has been transfer talk and value, and while he is getting a lot of media attention here, but the larger more cashed up clubs would be very nervous to take on a player, that as yet has yet to prove himself at higher level. In fact a club winning games at the top of the league one, heading to the Championship is probably the right level for him. Let it be known, most are talking up Japan and Australia for the Asia Cup. I'm keeping a close eye on Iran. A team that very nearly beat Argentina in Brazil. |
